Hi, my name is Chelsey. Im 20 years old and roughly 200 pounds. I know that sounds like a lot, but i really dont look it. However, i feel unhealthy and am very self conscious of myself because of my weight and how i am heavier. At one point I had a healthy lifestyle and exercised almost everyday, even just a little. But within the past 2-3 years, i have been diagnosed with poly cystic ovarian syndrome and been previously diagnosed with hypothyroidism. Both have spiraled out of control, along with my healthy living and i put on a good 70 pounds.
I always thought that once i reach my twenties, i will be happier with myself and i would be at the weight i would want to be at, but that is so far from the truth and i am ready to finally buckle down and change this.
I am doing this for myself and no one else. I want to be able to look in the mirror and be happy with what i see there.

If anyone wants to be friends, add me and please please please dont be shy about talking to me. I love making new friends, and i think it would be great for everyone to keep each other motivated and be supportive.

So talk to me! :)

    I am new to the Message Boards as well. My name is Nicole and I've had a weight problem my whole life. I started my journey at 346 lbs. Breaking point for me was when I thought about taking my 5 year old to Disney World and I thought, OMG I can't walk around Disney World at this current weight. So I am on a mission. A mission to be healthy, happy and a new me! I also need the support of friends who will encourage and help me out. So far I've lost 27 lbs. and I'm starting to actually feel good! I hope to make some great friends on these Boards.

    Welcome and good luck on your journey. Sorry to read about all your ailments. You have made the first step and I hope you can get the awesome results you want, so you can be happy again with how you look. I understand not being happy, I was sad for the past few months, finally weight started moving down and looking better in my clothes, still have a ways to go, but I am in a much better place and you will be too

    Good luck :)
